 Go to Google’s home page or browser toolbar and type a single letter into
 the search box. The search engine will then drop down a list of suggestions,
 based on overall search activity... See who first on the list.

 I think it interesting that most of the top 10 listed terms for each letter
 involve consumer goods. Shows what the Internet has become.

  I think that Google, as well as other search engines, will accept
money from entities so that their names will appear at or near the the
top of any such listings.

 Well G does do both.  Try searching Lawn Mower and you will get three Sears

INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY WITH MOBILE APPS
Speaker: Barg Upender, Mobomo, Founder and CEO

Smartphones powered by Apple's iPhone and Google's Android 
platforms are transforming the business landscape. Now, more 
than ever, people on the go can carry their offices in their 
pockets and be more productive. With small pieces of 
software known as apps, smartphones do so much more than 
send and receive calls and e-mail and text messages. With 
more than 100,000 apps on Apple's platform, there's an app 
for just about everything. With the touch of a button, 
someone on the go can manage client relationships and sales 
leads, find a nearby shipping center, comparison shop, and 
much more.


During this session we will discuss some of the best 
business apps for the iPhone, including several from Mobomo. 
We will also explore where the mobile industry is heading.


Speaker: Barg Upender is the founder and CEO of Mobomo, a 
mobile development company focused on building Smart Apps 
for Smartphones. As a technologist with 20 years of 
experience in commercial software product development, he 
has helped launch successful products for Fortune 500 
companies, nonprofits, and government agencies including 
AARP, NIH, Comcast, GEICO, and United Technologies. In 2009 
_Washingtonian_ magazine named Barg one of its Top 100 Tech 
Titans.


As a serial entrepreneur, Barg Upender founded and sold 
Concentric Methods, a biomedical informatics company. He 
also was a founding member of NeoDiagnostix Inc., a 
biomarker-based cancer diagnostic company. In addition, he 
was a founding partner of Intridea, a Web development 
company. Products developed at Intridea are funded for 
launch.


Barg Upender has been covered by many publications including 
BusinessWeek, VentureBeat, The Washington Post, The Wall 
Street Journal, and Washington Business Journal. He earned a 
Masters in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University 
and a Masters in Computer Science from Rensselaer 
Polytechnic Institute. He is an alumnus of the MindShare CEO 
Network.


Mobomo provides end-to-end mobile strategy, design, and 
development for businesses and organizations that want to 
acquire, retain, and engage mobile customers. Combining 
mobile expertise with disciplines in business strategy, 
interactive marketing, Web development, and systems 
engineering, Mobomo creates mobile applications for the 
Apple iPhone, Google Android, Palm Pre, and other smartphone 
platforms.

A large part of the reason was because of competition from Fuji.  An

Kodachrome.  Also, most of the users of Kodachrome, your typical

Fuji, Kodak and I believe Ilford are all still producing film.

One of the other reasons Kodachrome was dropped was it required

Re: [CGUYS] digital camera shutter lag

2010-01-26 Thread chad evans wyatt
This is one of the most off-track threads that I can recall.  But since 
Kodachrome has been mentioned, I thought to recall Kodachrome II, the greatest 
color film ever.  Disappeared during the rapacious Hunt brothers' execrable 
attempt to corner the silver market in the early 70's.  Probably the 
demarcation of Kodak's utter fall from grace.  They discarded silver-rich K II 
in favor of K25 and K64, both inferior films; pros saw the difference, and 
stocked their freezers with what remained of the K II left.  Anyone curious to 
see what a real dmax film can do need only look at National Geographics of the 
early 70's and prior.  Kodak's hubris of trying to slip inferior stock under 
the nose of market turmoil led to an opening for Fuji, and for E6 processing.  
No looking back.  There is a third act for Kodak, however:  their high-end 
imaging sensors today are the best anywhere.

Shutter lag.  Teddy Kennedy was the toughest act ever to photograph.  Unlike 
every other public speaker, his habit was to raise his hands while looking 
down.  Any pro worth his salt wants gesture and eye contact simultaneously.  
Timing was everything.  Mention has been made about delay with film SLR.  The 
precision of Leica and other rangefinder immediacy skips past all of that.  
Only delay is in the eye-hand relay.  Shooting with bursts is simply idiotic, 
assumption that something will work out.  The decisive moment occurs 
athletically within the photographer.  Can we drop this now?

  That is a totally silly and childish and patently untrue statement.
You do yourself, as well as others, a disservice when you inject such
crapola into an otherwise essentially fact-based discussion.  It is so
Glenn Beckish.  It is not humorous either, and thus less digestible.
May I suggest that you cut the ridicule.

I would have said so Keith Olbermannish but other than that, this is wholly
Tom P'ish.

[CGUYS] safari and new windows vs tabs

2010-01-26 Thread mike
I downloaded Safari to once again try it out.  One thing is driving me
absolutely batty...I click on some links and they open in new windows
instead of just opening in the current window or at the least a new tab.  I
have checked the prefs and I can't find anything that seems to kill this
from happening.  IE, Firefox and Chrome all handle these links by opening
new tabs.  Am I missing a setting or is this just how Safari launches these
links?

As an example, this happens on any picture linked on twitter.

Smart move. Vacuum tube circuits are resistant to EMP.
